OK, so we've all seen the intro, right? Gramps dies and leaves you the
farm, and two and a half years later, your old man shows up to "Grade" you.
But, if you look in the photo album, we see a picture of gramps with you and
his dog. Notice something wierd? Yep. you're wearing the clothes he is then
wearing. Perhaps, it is possible that the game is set in a "Time Loop" You
get the farm, get married, have a kid, grow old, find out the kid's married
and has a baby, grow older, and kick the bucket at the time your Grandkid is
the same age you were when your Granpappy bought the farm. Not just for you,
but for all of the characters. Perhaps Marie and Harris get hitched
seperetly, and they each has a kid who has a kid they name Harris or Marie,
who take up jobs as a mailman or a book keeper. And for Elli too. Maybe she
grows old, and dies one year after you do (She did when I was playing and
married to Ann.) and has a grandkid named Elli who likes cooking before she
goes to the big bakery in the sky. If we could only break the loop by getting
new threads or not having a grandkid who likes farming...... Man, this would
make a good X-File episode.....
